What is my prized possession in my house? (in Contests)
QBRanger
June 6 2007 5:25 PM EDT
Prize is 1M, yes that is 1 followed by 6 (six) zeros.
Rules:
One guess per contestant per 24 hours. That means if you guess at 5pm one day, no next guess till 5pm the next day. Failure to follow this means a DQ.
One can "buy" hints for 25k each, hints should be yes/no format. If you buy a guess, you get an extra guess. The 25k goes to the pot.
All other rules are for me to decide.
When someone gets the answer, I will explain why it is so prized by me.
Have fun.
PS, Th00p gets 1 free guess due to the fact this is a variation on his contest.

no and no
One other point, Hints are to be posted in this thread. If someone spends 25k on a hint, then they get 20 min from the time I post the answer to take a guess. Others can post their guesses but if the hint buyer posts his within that 20 min, his gets priority.

wait, you said it was replaceable...arg...
QBRanger
June 8 2007 10:58 AM EDT
Let me clarify replaceable.
The object itself can be replaced. The reason behind it being prized, of course, cannot if it is lost or stolen.
Hope that helps.

OK,
My very very very bad,
Bad Ranger, very bad RaNGER.
I missed a guess way above.
a cartoon themed phone?
YES, But what cartoon. RD wins 1M CB2.
The rest of the pot goes to whoever figures which cartoon character.
Again, Bad Ranger!!!

QBRanger
June 8 2007 11:04 AM EDT
For an extra 500k cb2- Why is it so special to me?
One can make a guess for the cartoon character for the 400k in hint fees.
One can also make a guess as to the Why for 500k bonus.
One can make 1 guess on each, then wait till 10 others guess.

these hints were taken AFTER RD guessed right so here is the refund. Their free guesses will still be in play.
QBRanger
June 8 2007 11:08 AM EDT
Also, as to the reason why-you need to be specific like "you wife gave it to you when you graduated residency" or something more along those lines.
Gandalf
June 8 2007 11:36 AM EDT
Mickey Mouse
Because you're mother gave it to you as a present.
BootyGod
June 8 2007 1:21 PM EDT
Goofy
Because it was... one of your kid's first present to you?
''Because it was one or the only item left intact after a very damaging fire.''
Sorry, that's grim, it happened near me though, that's why it came to mind :P
This seems too obvious but a Homer Simpson phone . Because it looks just like you dad ! he he !
QBRanger
June 8 2007 2:07 PM EDT
not mickey, goofy or homer.
It was not the only possession left after a house fire
Tezmac
June 8 2007 2:16 PM EDT
Bugs Bunny, because he says "What's up Doc" and you happen to be a "Doc"?
Humm...good guess there Tezmac, right or not.
QBRanger
June 8 2007 2:22 PM EDT
Not bugs, however I do love that phone for the reasons you stated.
Eric Cartman? Cause the phone was given to you by the creators of South Park who you met?
Oh, and Miandrital, I already guessed a singing bass.
QBRanger
June 8 2007 2:25 PM EDT
not Cartman, or Bartman or Darkman.

Marvin the Martian? He's so cool.
QBRanger
June 8 2007 3:17 PM EDT
Not Betty Boop, C'mon, i'm a Man's Man
Not Garfield, I'm a dog person
Marvin, hmmm. I wish I could find one like that. I have an alarm clock of him. When he pops up it says "Wake up earthling, you haven't got all lightyear".
But it is not my phone.

Not Spidey or SuperDuperMan.
QBRanger

When I was young I had a nice crush on Sweet Polly PureBred, but alas not a Wonderdog phone.

Goofy as I am, my phone is not.
BluBBen
June 8 2007 5:18 PM EDT
A mickey mouse phone.
Because it was the first thing you bought for your own money.
QBRanger
June 8 2007 5:19 PM EDT
not Mickey which i think was already guessed.
I did not buy it for myself.

Not Betty Boop, C'mon, i'm a Man's Man
My dad was a mans man, and he knew, as well as do other mans men, that Betty Boop is second only to Jessica Rabbit... It's well known... and hot girls (On phones or ties, etc...) is cool.

nope, nothing to do with my kids.
Is it a Juggernaut phone?
Cause....don't you know who I am!?!? I'm the Juggernaut!!! :o
cause Taz is an epic force of masterful destruction?
GO PATS
June 9 2007 12:24 PM EDT
Because Taz reminds you of your first love? That girl in 2nd grade with an extreme case of the hairies and A.D.D.? You know the one I mean... what was her name again?
QBRanger
June 9 2007 12:31 PM EDT
Taz is the master of destruction but not the reason I hold the phone as my prized possession.
I did not have a "crush" till high school. At least one I can remember.
Um because you have always wanted to go to Tasmania ?

Fathers day present from the kids?

But why is this particular item so special to me.
Was this phone purchased for you by your mother, either on a trip to Disneyworld or a local Disney store, after learning that your wife was pregnant with your second child?
QBRanger
June 9 2007 2:49 PM EDT
I do not normally post CMs but novice did get it right.
It was the last gift from my mom to be before she died last year from lung cancer.
500k to novice
